4Chan Fakes it

Earlier this week the internet at large was introduced to the site EmmaYourNext.com. The site, thought to be a brain child of the man-trolls that live on 4chan, promised 48 million visitors that a new batch of naked photos were coming and this time they would victimize Emma Watson. Having just spoken at the UN on the subject of gender…

IN-N-OUT Burger is COMING…

For one day only. Sorry for the click-baity headline but I was really excited, mostly because of burgers. The fact is the famous and totally delicious California chain will be bringing their burgers to Toronto; you’ll be able to find their beefy goodness (couldn’t resist… sorry) at Osteria Dei Ganzi at 504 Jarvis Street, between from 11AM – 3PM.  While Toronto…

Fuck Cancer

Fuck cancer. The life robbing, hellish disease has had a long enough run and I for one am done with it. I want to go an entire year without hearing that someone I love is fighting for their life against this brutal illness. I want to see my friends and family who are currently suffering go into remission and live…

Toronto Taste 2014

Do you have plans on Sunday? Are those plans the most awesome possible plans you can think of? Because if they aren’t you need to head to Toronto Taste. Toronto Taste is basically the foodie version of heaven; a food and cocktail event with 70 amazing food and beverage vendors, celebrity chefs, all in the stunning Corus Quay building overlooking…

#YesAllWomen – Lead by Example

This is the third instalment in the #YesAllWomen series, you can find the first here and the second here. This entry is courtesy of my brilliant friend Tiffany, she also happens to be an expectant mother, this is her story. 5 weeks away from bringing a son into the world, I can’t help but be taken with the #yessallwomen hashtag…

#YesAllWomen- Back The Fuck Up

Last night I posted the first in a series of #YesAllWomen stories, this is the second in that series by the lovely, kind, brilliant and incredibly talented Christine Estima. Sexual harassment has been a constant in my adult life, but if I’m being honest, it didn’t start with adulthood. As a child I would walk home from school along a…

#YesAllWomen

Over the course of the weekend the hashtag, #YesAllWomen, has trended, inspired and encouraged conversation among women across the world. Over the coming days I’ve asked some of my favourite women, Christine Estima, Tiffany Heimpel and Amanda Lynne Ballard, to share their #YesAllWomen stories but before I do that I have to share MY story. I can’t remember the first…

Everything is Awesome!

“Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you’re part of a team!” The Tegan and Sara ft Lonely Island LEGO Movie anthem was my theme song for the weekend. It all started with a hair cut by Greg May on Friday morning, we discussed going grey/lavender but time constraints meant that my colour would have to wait until the next time…

Emily Letts Is My Hero

It’s never been a secret that I’m pro-choice, I’ve blogged about that before and it’s no secret to anyone that I’ve also had an abortion before, in fact I’ve had two. They weren’t fun but neither is being a parent to a child that you don’t want and can’t afford. I’m not ashamed that I’ve had an abortion it was a…

Trind Nail Repair

At the beginning of April I received a package from Charming Media with a supply of Trind nail repair products and at first I was dubious; my nails are notoriously weak and when they start to crack I almost ALWAYS start to peel them off. But after a few short weeks of treating my nails with the Moisturizing Nail Balsam and the…
